    • Defective tyre Replaced

      Hi guys
      Just sometime back I received a call from my dealer saying that the tyres have been replaced to new ones ! And they claim depreciation for about Rs 1100 for a 4k old tyre with a punture ( patch inside ) .. they werent sure about the quote .. anyways something is better than nothing

      • ^^^ I'd still say its a steal; new one costs Rs 3900 + 14.5%VAT (damn this amount)

          Let me say it again,be it Honda,Suzuki or Harley,no one can void the warranty as long as you use the recommended grade of oil.The manual only mentions the grade of oil and that is what you need to adhere to for warranty.

          How would HMSI be making a fool of us by selling something at a lower price??Or am I missing something?
          Most of the engine oils sold by manufacturers(Yamalube,HMSI etc) are cheaper that dedicated engine oil brands like Motul etc and its not without a reason.

          As I already mentioned,its about Honda being too finicky about warranty claims and bringing up lame reasons such as using other brands of engine oil to void warranty.
          Where does it say that you have to adhere to use a 10W30 FS supplied by HMSI??There is nothing wrong in sticking to 10W30 FS supplied by HMSI but there is nothing wrong in using 10W30 of other brands as well.
          There is nothing stubborn in using a product which has given me a better feel and performance across the bikes that I have owned over the period of years and is worth the extra price(IMHO).

It all depends on your rapport with the dealer as they're the ones responsible for your warranty claim. Its only for your own better safe than sorry.
          Well,lets not make assumptions.I have not faced any issues with warranty with other manufacturers for this and I hope its the same with Honda as well.

            • ^^^Nothing to argue sir.Each has their own opinion and there is nothing wrong in it.

              Should be getting the bike by April 1st week.Will surely keep this thread updated on the happenings/ownership.

              OT:you might not recall but we had met during the munnar G2G last year and both of us were riding Yammies then.Hope it would be the Hondas this year

                Its high cause soon CENVAT is coming! They are regulating VAT at each state to match every state revenue, That when CENVAT comes, all can have equal Input Tax credit.

                    Just to give you a perspective, I had mine replaced under warranty, 3.7k on the ODO and two nails in the tyre. Paid INR 300 for depreciation.

                        • Can I get an email id of HMSI for customer complaints/care?

                          I can't find it even on HMSI official website.


                          Sorry that I am asking again as no body replied to previous post. I am still looking for email contact of HMSI, very badly indeed.

                            • But since he already bought a new one ... What will he do with this replaced tyre ? Thats what I was puzzled about.

                              CENVAT is happening! But definitely not for the benefit for consumer Its for the sellers who have clashes with CST credit and VAT credit. But, CENVAT may throw in some proper taxation categories

                                Use as spare or sell probably; had he done about 2-3 days earlier, I could've got the Conti from him
